>From the beginning, President Jimmy Carter gave the hostage crisis a high profile.

As someone who remembers that era, I'm not entirely sure I agree with that. I don't think Carter himself made it high profile as much as the media did. The ABC News show Nightline started then as a nightly report on the latest in the hostage situation. Every night it would start with "Day XYZ: America Held Hostage!" (where XYX had been the number of days. The Right wanted Carter to bomb Iran "back into the stoneage".

As for the rescue attempt, there were significant problems including equipment failure - new helicopters that weren't really battle tested, for example (this led to a lot of soul searching as to whether there were problems with military procurement, for example). Yes, Carter probably shouldn't have agreed to it.
Five points in reply:

1. Signalfd is a mountain of technical debt. It's not like a file at all. It reads entirely different things depending on which process is reading from a single common open file description, and it interacts with epoll in a most bizarre way, in that the process that added the signalfd to the poll set is the one whose signals will notify readiness - even if that process then closed the epoll and signalfd.

2. Signalfd is a mountain of technical debt because they built it over signals. Signals are of two forms: the one is asynchronous, the other synchronous. The one should be replaced with a generic message queue in a technical debt free design. The other is debatable. (Mach and also Fuchsia have an "Exception Port" instead, a message port someone can read from to deal with exceptions incurred by some thread.)

3. Regarding:
> epoll can automatically monitor any kind of kernel resource without having to be modified, due to its composable design

Well, so can kqueue - EVFILT_READ/EVFILT_WRITE will work just as well on any file, be it a socket, an eventfd, or even another kqueue (though I don't think anyone who isn't dealing with technical debt should be adding kqueues to kqueues, nor epolls to epolls.) No need to modify kqueue! But in either case, though, you've got to modify something. Whether that's trying to fit signals into a file and getting signalfd, or whether it's adding a signal event filter and getting EVFILT_SIGNAL, something has to be done.

4. FreeBSD's process descriptors predate Linux's pidfds. They are also better and less technically indebted because they are pure capabilities (they were invented as part of the Capsicum object-capability model based security architecture for FreeBSD) while pidfds are not: what you can do with a pidfd is decided on based on the ambient authority of the process trying to, say, signal a pidfd, and not on rights intrinsic to the fact of having a pidfd. In fact, these pidfds are not even like traditional Unix open file descriptions, whose rights are based on the credential of who opened them. This makes privilege-separation architectures impossible with pidfds, but I digress.

5. The author ignored the actual points people argued against epoll with, viz. that 1) epoll's edge triggering behaviour is useless, and 2) that epoll's conflation of file descriptor with open file description is a terribly leaky abstraction:

My post wasn't about universal healthcare, but to point out to the progressives who downvoted you that Ted was instrumental in thwarting it three different times, and that he likely did so for purely selfish reasons, and that given all of his other baggage--including the fact that he was the textbook definition of a "nepobaby," born with a silver spoon in his mouth, admitted to Harvard as a legacy, expelled for cheating on a Spanish test and then readmitted for "reasons"--he shouldn't have much posthumous appeal to non-boomer leftists, who obviously don't "remember where you were when JFK was shot."
I lived in the Knoxville/Oak Ridge TN area at the time. Under Carter the TVA had built full working house demonstrations of solar, geothermal, and passive cooling homes. They were all cancelled shortly after the 80 election.
FDR stripped 110,000 Americans of their property and herded them into concentration camps.
In case it helps to clarify, probably Ted Kennedy, not JFK.

'No Problem' Word Processor Poses a Problem for Former President Carter (1981)
We have an immense amount of free space in CA, it's just nowhere people find desirable, or nowhere the local community would appreciate you parking the temporarily dysfunctional members of society. You could build a fantastic homeless campus in Lancaster CA, there's abundant space, real estate is about as cheap as it gets, you have access to an airport, LA is not too far, it's already practically Meth Mecca.

There's fundamentally no reason for cramming 10k people in some of the most unaffordable NIMBY real estate land of one of the most expensive CoL countries in the world. Even if these folks were able to overcome years of raging addiction, what will they do in SF? Learn machine learning? Become a wealth manager? A teacher? A cop? How are they going to make enough to live in the city when even most regular middle class professions can barely make it there?

> non minification and no binary code

I believe you want human comprehensibility, but going with "no minification, no binary" may throw out a baby with the bathwater. Everything about computers is binary code underneath, even this message (and even UTF-8 is not exactly a trivial spec - it's just that we have tools that make it super accessible). I suspect you rather want lack of deliberate obfuscation for the sake of obscurity.

I think binary formats are fine, as long as there are tools to work with them. Same with minified code if the source maps are right there - we already spend a ton of computing resources for our convenience, no reason to send more bytes over the wire if they're not needed, just make sure they're fully accessible to whoever wants to look under the hood.

It's a bit of a mix, but price discrimination isn't far off. It's like the SSO tax; all organizations are paying for effectively the same service, but the provider has found a minor way to cripple the service that selectively targets people who can afford to pay more.

If we want to call this just regular ole pricing, it's not a leap to call most textbook cases of price discrimination "regular ole pricing" as well. An online game charges more if your IP is from a certain geography? That's not discrimination; we've simply priced the product differently if you live in Silicon Valley; don't buy it it you don't want it.
> a pair of shoes

>> For all of the things listed, I would rather have factory made versions.

I think people believe this who haven't ever experienced truly custom hand-made things. The process of creating an actual "custom, hand-made, artisan-crafted, boutique" shoe will involve first creating a custom "last" - a wooden mold to build the shoe around.

This last isn't literally a mold of your foot, it is a custom-sculpted shape that is specific to both your foot and the particular shoe style. The shoemaker will keep all of their customer's lasts in a large library, so once your last is customized properly for you (in-person), you don't have to return to order more of that type of shoe - you can place future orders in different colors/materials and the shoe will be created around that same wooden last, ensuring a very specific fit that is most comfortable for you.

A factory cannot do this.

The point of hand-made things is customization that goes far beyond what a factory could ever do. If you're buying hand-made things that aren't truly customized for you, then you're largely missing the point.
I’m not going to get into my specific work history in the spirit of trying not to put more metadata about myself out there, but I can confidently say referrals are still king and I have witnessed those results.

I have a hard time believing that the market is as dire as people say it is at least right now approaching 2025. I see peers who are getting laid off get back into jobs, it’s just taking a few months longer than it used to. It’s just not a magical hot job market like it used to be.

A good indicator is to look at Meta’s employee count. It’s down dramatically since 2022 but they still have more employees working for them than the last day of 2021.

How to get good at anything creative

I think it's useless to believe that the explanation behind everything is "greed". It's so easy to blame greed; it's amorphous and meaningless; it gives you nothing you can do; it's the logic of a people who are sure nothing can change, that the way things are is inherent: the rich are greedy, the bad things in the world are powerful people taking advantage of us for benefit, sad for us.

It seems pretty clear that the forces at work are designed to incentivize, reward, and rationalize "greed", and so if one just does their job, so to speak, they will end up doing the greedy thing at every turn. And really we are fine with it! -- what we value more than anything is value creation (on paper). No matter if the actual world is getting worse as long as it appears to be getting better: the economy/investment accounts/stock grants are going up.
You said it was “students” that yelled that. As I mentioned, I had a similar experience in school where another kid mocked my skin color. But these kids aren’t saying that stuff based on some racial ideology. Kids are mean and will pick up on any characteristic to mock other kids. Kids also mocked me for reading during recess. Why should I perceive these instances of childish bullying differently?

The comments by the Arabs, by contrast, is based on a racial ideology. Though I don’t get worked up about it because who cares about a random interaction at the mall? The only thing I’ve ever experienced that I’d call material racism is the social exclusion by Indian people. Because that arises in professional or workplace contexts.
It's not how it was legal, but why the house leadership didn't mention it before the last election cycle. It's similar to why the ethics committee didn't want to reveal the dirt on the first Department of Justice nominee -- it would make them look bad!
While I disagree with your verdict, those are all valid points. I don't think stagflation can really be pinned on him, though.
+1 for this, UUIDs in URLs is such a pain. For the app we're working on we went with UUIDs and often have 4+ in the URL as well. So ugly and cumbersome.

Worst part is that you can't double-click on one to highlight the whole thing, you have to drag your cursor over it.

At a previous company, we worked _really_ hard to come up with a "4x4" ID system (i.e. a1b2-c3d4) because they'd often have to be read over the phone. Originally, we worried we'd run out of them but after 15+ years it seems like they're still going strong.

Technically visa workers can join a union, but if they get retaliated against, the stakes are much higher

Also part of the appeal of having them is that they're easier to bully into overworking because of the threat of deportation. If unions standardize working expectations, that's in direct conflict with one of the primary benefits of visa workers

Carter interviewed Volcker for the job of Fed chairman and asked him what he would do to lower inflation (which had been persistently high since about the middle of the Nixon admin). Volcker told him he would immediately and significantly raise interest rates. This was in '79, there was an election the next year so Volcker figured that Carter wouldn't pick him. But Carter realized that Volcker was right and did pick Volcker who then went on to raise rates into the double digits (and people now complain about 5%). As predicted that tanked the economy in the election year, but in the long run it did the job of extinguishing the 70's inflation.
$21 is an MIT-provided living wage number for many parts of the country (including Santa Fe, where I live (or close by)). There are places where that's still not enough: I think $35/hr just about covers anywhere in the US at this point.

It’s the hypocrisy that bothers me personally. They force other countries to have maximally free trade with the world bank/IMF, then abandon those ideals the moment they aren’t convenient for the US.

Most people I’ve spoken to about Jimmy Carter who were alive at the time seem to say the same as you. I’ve heard that living in America at the time was depressing and embarrassing. I have a feeling a lot of the praise for the man is from people who weren’t even around when he was president but have been fed some story about how he was great. I see a lot of praise for him online yet it’s very hard to find from the lips of American who lived through it.
No it isn't. Letting files be poll/select/epoll'd isn't free either. They don't get support for that by magic. A poll operation has to be coded, and this is just as a much a "point of friction" then as supporting kqueue. (It bears mentioning as well that on at least DragonFly BSD and OpenBSD, they have reimplemented poll()/select() to use kqueue's knotes mechanism, and so now you only have to write a VOP_KQFILTER implementation and not a VOP_POLL too.)
Show HN: Data to track the global Energy, Space and Nuclear landscape’s progress
This project arose from my frustration with the prevailing degrowth sentiment and fearmongering by the media and environmentalists around these technologies.

It provides data that highlights the growth of these frontiers and the role they play in humanity's path to total abundance.

Some topics it covers: global energy/electricity mix, renewable capacity and growth (solar, wind, nuclear), nuclear reactors and waste recycling, yearly rocket launches, orbital launch costs, notes on starship and starlink and a lot more!

My goal was to use publicly available data to track their progress, showcase their need and benefits to scaling them up, and debunk most myths and lies around things like renewable energy, and nuclear waste, all under a simple and beautiful unified interface.

All the code and data is open-source: https://github.com/tanaydesai/outer-reach
